Greetings,

 

This month I am taking something that I read on my bible app about the comfort of God.( Jesus ) I love my daily readings and devotionals but this one really spoke to me for the state of the world right now and the things going on in our lives daily.

Have you ever looked around you and wondered, "why is there so much evil, wickedness, and pain in the world?"  

In Psalm 94, King David is extremely upset about the state of humanity.  People are blaming God for the world's rampant wickedness as though He did not see it and did not care. So David reminds his audience that the Lord is creator, and He knows, sees, and hears all that goes on.

Because of God (Jesus )David could say " When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."  Psalm 94:19

King David's " cares of the heart" were because of the wickedness and evil he saw-and our world is not much different.  But David's consolation in all the evil and wickedness was his Creator and Savior.

That's why He could close his psalm by writing " But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.  He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness, the Lord our God will wipe them out." ( Verse 22-23)

This isn't the most pleasant psalm to read.  It's full of pain and anger, sorrow and injustice.  But, it's a prayer of hope and perspective which we can learn from. 

There is wickedness, injustice, and war all around us.  But in the midst of pain and brokenness, we can follow King David's example and look to Jesus for comfort and peace. God took care of our shame and sin through the death of Jesus Christ, and He will one day take care of all wickedness and evil.

Until then, like David, we can say " when the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."

By trusting Jesus and knowing that He will one day wipe away all wickedness, we can bring Him our hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns and receive His comfort. 

So right now, think about the cares you have that need to be given to Jesus. 

Bring them, and rest in His peace knowing that He will take care of everything and the battle has already been won.  You don't have to fight life's battles by yourself.  He loves you and already won the battle when He died for you.

   

Email me, call, or text anytime for prayer.  

Jesus loves you and so do I.

 

"JESUS PLEASE SAVE ME NOW"
